Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity

More about the book

Focusing on the interpretation of Jesus' resurrection, the book argues that early Christians viewed the New Testament accounts not as literal events but as a representation of divine translation, a concept prevalent in Hellenistic and Roman myths. Richard Miller's insights challenge traditional perspectives and suggest that these narratives were understood differently in their historical context. This thought-provoking analysis has important implications for New Testament scholarship and is likely to stimulate debate among scholars in early Christianity and Classical studies.
